Congratulations: This image is absolutely stunning Do yourself a favour 🦋- take a moment - open the pic - dive into the beauty of microscope for a moment - just to really remember and pause in awe at the elegance of nature ❤️ (even if you do get #allergies!!) #microscopy #talent #nature #science

Any chance we think this might actually work? Or are we just compounding our doom by splitting the pack even further … ? Answers on a postcard.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

#research #biomed_researchers #diabetes_researchers Just putting my head above the parapet to ask : How many have returned to X? And if you have: why? And if you haven’t and 🦋 isn’t meeting your needs - where else do you go most regularly? (Genuinely curious question!)

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

#topviewedarticle in Diabetic Medicine in 2024 (n top 10% anyway) 🧪🚀✨ This paper was all in my voice! Too long but 😍. It was the first commentary Ive written about the science I’m so passionate about! (I do still need to learn about white space!!!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

As an example: Trump administration cuts $4m to Princeton’s climate research funding: The scope of this madness is 🤯 For all the scientists in America affected…and the work for the rest of us that they do…I weep. I can only think we fight it with hope, patience, and continued rebellion ….

Still so excited by our paper! Multidisciplinary, creative, innovative & fun: this was “doing” science at its best 🚀🧪 Helpful that it a) reveals (quantitatively) that human #islets retain a conserved mantle-core structure & b) offers a nuanced tool to compare the subtleties of data distributions.

Hey DiabGeeks - this 👇🏼looks like it will be an extraordinary tool to add to the diabetes researcher armoury 🧪🔬 Congratulations 🚀🙌🏼 #devbio Hope it flies!

I purchased a microscope I really like last August: 300k machine. Today I learned that support for windows 10 machines is ending and we will have to upgrade to windows 11. Company is asking for 11K for an “upgrade kit”. Wanna prevent waste of taxpayer money? This is predatory.

Oooh and more positive news … I believe we can curate our lives - and it starts with what we chase in the media… and social media! Isn’t that why we stepped away from “Ex”… - you’re welcome! 🥰

Many of you who know me are familiar with my abiding belief that the right food can help just about anything: This work is a shocking indictment of progressive failures which, of course, are complex; but may also be a pretty good beginning for more visibility of the problem #health #responsibility🙏🏼

Hey there 🦋 world! If you are interested in doing truly fantastic, creative, robust and beautiful science - (a bonus if you already know a bit about imaging and/or zebrafish and/or diabetes) : Look no further. The Yang Lab is in its ascendancy - #diabetes #imaging #uniofexeter
